<p>Java is exciting to businesses because it allows them to deliver sophisticated business

applications like today's client/server applications, but in a browser, with a zero

maintenance client. It overcomes the inherent limitations of today's first-generation Web

applications, which use dynamically generated HTML pages. </p>



<p>SilverStream: Delivering on the Promise of Java </p>



<p>A drawback to Java is that it is a low-level programming language akin to C++.

Programmers who know Java are scarce, and it would take them ages to build the kind of

business applications they are used to assembling easily in Visual Basic. </p>



<p>SilverStream solves this problem by automatically generating three tier,

database-centric, Java applications on both the client and server using wizards and visual

design tools. Developers can add their own business logic in Java for any client or

server-side event. As a development platform, SilverStream offers the same kind of

environment as that provided by tools such as Visual Basic and Lotus Notes. However,

unlike Visual Basic or Lotus Notes, SilverStream offers the first comprehensive

environment that allows users to build and deploy no-compromise client/server-quality

applications while remaining compatible with open Internet standards.</p>
